If I program a waypoint, does it show a "path" and then clearly indicate where I am relative to the desired path?

Yes -- think of it as setting a MOB (man overboard). Once you start tracking the MOB, a path is outlined as to where you are relative to the original mark, plus the bearing back (or reciprical) and distance back to the mark. The same is for using a waypoint. Once the waypoint is set, you can go to it using FIND button, click on the waypoint, hit GO and you get the same path shown plus the reciprical bearing and distance.

It will give you some indications of how you vary from the path, but it does not show a path. At least it hasn't the way I have used it. I think you need a charting type of GPS for that.

On the main screen you have an icon for waypoints, touch it, and then you see a menu of choices concerning the type of waypoint you wish to enter. You can also use the button on the top left side of the unit to quickly enter your current location as a waypoint.

First you must set up your GPS to the same format of the coordinates you are trying to put in it. 1. Go to SETUP&gt;UNITS&gt;POSITION FORMAT and change the Position Format to the format of the coordinates you are trying to input. In your case it would be "H D.D" (Decimal Degree Format) To navigate to the coordinates, hold the enter/mark button. Then Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the coordinates. Actually, follow this list. A. Firmly Hold enter/mark B. Use your up/down arrows to highlight the coordinates at the bottom C. Once you've highlighted the coordinates, Press enter/mark once D. Use the arrow and enter button to edit the coordinates. E. Once you've put the right coordinates, press the arrow keys to highlight OK F. Hit Enter. G. (Optional, give the coordinate a name. I.e. Cache. Home. Entrance. Trail fork. etc) Default names are numbers starting with 001. I suggest naming your coordinates, if you don't name them, have a piece of paper that tells you what coordinate is what. I.e. 001 = Home 002 = Work 003= Secret Dead Body H. Once you've entered the name, or are satisfied with your coordinates, highlight "OK?" I. Hit enter. J. Firmly Hold "goto" (It should open up all your waypoints grouped by the first letters of the name). K. Select the group in which your waypoint falls (0-9, A-H, I-P, Q-Z) L. Highlight your waypoint. M. Hit Enter/Mark. N. It will take you to your compass page, it will show the direction and distance to/from your waypoint. Tip: I suggest investing in USGS MGRS maps and using your GPS to figure out where you are on a physical map...I don't suggest using this GPS as your sole method of navigation, as it may lead you off a cliff or up a mountain, as it has no real map data, just the ability to know your coordinates and elevation.

Upon turning on the unit it will begin a bread crumb trail of where you go. If you want to return home it will show you on a map where you have been. If you set a way point at any time you can find your way back to that point. Just remember that if your electronics fail and you have no idea where you are you will be cooked!

There is a printer icon in the main menu. I would assume it would display your programed route. I usually print from Google Maps.

Hopefully, you've checked out the manual. For those still curious, as you travel to your destination you can add one waypoint by just selecting "Where to?" and proceeding as you normally would to input any destination. After you've inserted all the data, the device will ask you whether this is a new route (or end point) or whether you want to treat it as a waypoint. Select waypoint. You can repeat as necessary (after reaching one waypoint, you can add another). This by no means make it multi-point routing (where you can create up to 10 routes with 50 waypoints per route), but it's better than nothing. Hopefully, you've checked out the manual.

Yes. It will also store specific locations and provide navigation guidance to reach a specific stored location.

I don't know about making a file, but you can make a multi-point route. I'm not sure how many points are allowed. I usually only do 2 way points. Many times headed somewhere, I'll decide to find a restaurant to eat at. I'll add it. It'll ask what order I want to make the trip in. I arrange the order and it routes me. It will even give you the arrival times and distances for each of the way points.

Yes, more or less. You go into "Base Camp" on your PC and you can mark waypoints and create routes. If you don't have the TOPO maps, you won't have any elevation lines or any trails. Not all trails are included on the TOPO maps, but even if they aren't, sometimes there are points of intrests that you can mark etc. For example, a lot of the trails in the Adirondacks are on there, but a lot of the trails in the Catskills are not, but some points of interest are and the peaks are. Of course, you can also mark waypoints as you hike and record your track as you hike as well. I find it to work out very well. Yes, more or less.

Yes. They have a Trip Planner app. You add way points as desired and it will route you via those points. I added planed rest and picnic stops and got est. of arrival time for the leg I was on as well as miles to go. I also got the program "Trip & Waypoint Manager" after I left on my last trip. You install on you computer, plan your tip and then transfer info to GPS unit. Unfortunately my parents have borrowed the unit so I cannot test how well this will work. My first impression is that the program is not that great but I really can't say until I get my GPS back. Craig

Yes it ghas everything. In the navigation part you have to change the state when putting in your destination. From there as you putting your destination address it should show everything. But keep in mind some roads may have two or more meaning old and new name. So as a reference cross check the name through google maps to make sure everything is correct before puttung it in your gps.

This is a back-tracking unit yhat is used to set way points. It is not designed to locate from a remote location. It is meant to help you get back to a position you set that you were at previously.

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.
2127125
No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

Kinda. On the right of the screen a line graph with you and your destination.it not real accurate throw.

This is was you Can Do...Go to the Compas. Get your Angle then Switch back to your base map Move the cursor to where you want to go and make a Waypoint. When you move the Cursor like this is measures distance.

I don't see why not. It is a "global" positioning system after all. Keep in mind that it doesn't show maps. It will only show the path you walked so you can retraces your steps as well as direction and distance to saved waypoints.
